He had many interests in life. He was an avid fisherman, enjoyed watching Nascar, drafting and loved the Miami Dolphins. David was best known for the numerous servers and computer knowledge. Later in life he and Lisa moved their family so he could attend Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville, Fl where he received his B.S. degree in 2001 in Church Ministries. After graduation he was employed with Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation in the IT Department until 2012.

He was predeceased by his parents Roy and Lucretia Perry. He is survived by his wife Lisa Ann Perry, his two sons Jonathan and Caleb. His sister Kay Cordle (husband Obie), his sister Sandra (Sandy) Quillin (husband Marlous), brother Charles (Randy) Perry (wife Michele) and brother Thomas Kelley.

We were just exchanging text messages. I knew you weren't feeling well but didn't know the extent of your illness. You were brave, up beat, positive and fought till the end. You accomplished something I hope I can do, and that was to leave a legacy that people will always remember and treasure. You will be missed. Rest in peace my friend. Love and prayers for your family during this transitioning period. Redskins Forever.
